Ip - The 1940 Ip Massacre
Museum in Sălaj county
What it feels like
Quiet halls, curated objects, the smell of old wood and paper. Time slowed down by design.
Ip is the place where, in September 1940, after the Vienna Award, Horthyist troops massacred 158 Romanian civilians, the largest ethnic massacre in Transylvania. The monument and the small memorial museum make Ip a place of remembrance of the tragic history of north-western Romania.
